SortKey Cell (Shape Data Section)
Evaluates to a string that influences the order in which items in the Shape Data window are listed.
Remarks
The calculation used to compare SortKey values is locale-specific and case insensitive. If SortKey values are equal, the shape data is listed in row order. Shape data that have no sort key are listed after shape data that contain a sort key.

| Row | Label | SortKey |

| Prop.Price |
